comScore is proud to have partnered with News UK and Keller Fay on this ground breaking research, and is truly honoured to be recognised by IAB Europe for the innovation we have delivered to holistically understand the effects of advertising, said Stuart Wilkinson, Head of Industry Relations EMEA at comScore. The more evidence we can provide to advertisers and media buyers about the return on investment from brand advertising in engaging environments, the faster we can move away from simplistic, flawed models like final click attribution.

comScore and News UK were selected as the winner for one of eight categories by the IAB Europe Research Awards Jury; chosen from a total of 140 cases submitted across 15 markets. Project Footprint not only won IAB Europe's Research and Data Innovation award, but also won this year's Best Custom Research Project and the prestigious Grand Prix at the 2016 Mediatel Media Research Awards.

Project Footprint research was based on the recruitment of 70 multi-platform subscribers to The Times, who downloaded comScore meters on each of their digital devices to capture online behaviours and purchases whilst their offline behaviour and conversations were captured using a bespoke diary app created by Keller Fay. By observing the multi-platform audience through a combination of offline and online measurement, comScore and Keller Fay were able to quantify the holistic impact that ad exposure has on their audience for The Times brand.

This research has generated significant interest in the marketplace whilst also opening the door to numerous commercial opportunities, resulting in a direct impact on our business. We are pleased to see that through strong collaboration and methodology with our partners at comScore, this study has been recognised by IAB Europe for Research and Data Innovation. - Sean Adams, Head of Insight, Commercial, News UK

Congratulations to comScore and News UK for winning this year's IAB Europe Research Award for best Research & Data Innovation. As the measurement for advertising continues to evolve, understanding the full impact and interactions of consumer behaviour on both online and offline channels are becoming increasingly important when evaluating media investment. Their combined effort and innovative approach to research excellence continues to be valued in the industry. - Alison Fennah, Executive Business Advisor at IAB Europe
